Get it here- Link You'll need bittorrent.

Time for a new Overclockix iso! I call this one 3.79 (overdozed), and its basically 3.7 combined with LTSP 2.1, plus all of the look and new software from 3.8, but none of the bugs. So the kernels' (2.4.27 & 2.6.9) are not quite the newest, but then again, that allows for captive-ntfs work well. There's no Unionfs, but unionfs has still got some problems.

Don't know what I'm babbling about? Overclockix is a customized version of Knoppix. It's design intent is to look cool, fold@home, and be good for a linux noob to use for rescue/recovery and as a desktop Linux OS.

Highlights:

KDE 3.4.2
OpenOffice 2.0 beta

Multimedia: kino - a video editor, mplayer & w32codecs, xine, ogle, dvdrip, k3b, xmms, audacity, ripperX, gimp 2.2

WEB/Internet: nvu- a wysiwyg web dev editor, firestarter- firewall, bittornado, xchat, gaim, gnomemeeting, firefox (with flash, java, mplayer plugins ), ethereal, ndiswrapper, knemo, kismet, gftp, ncftp, knode, kismet, airsnort

OCer Tools: lm-sensors, rovclock & nvclock- for overclocking video cards, cpuburn, folding@home, boinc, cpuburn, memtest, prime, bonnie++, gkrellm, qemu, radeon and nvidia driver install scripts (for ppl who install it to hdd), filelight- graphical disk useage viewer

GUI stuff- superkaramba + themes, konqueror metabar, AKDC & crystal kwin decos, crystal kwin deco, noia icons, exquisite icons, new moodin splash engine and ksplashes, metal4kde style, silver xcursors (also included alternate blue, gold, onyx, and iron cursor themes), non-standard k3b & openoffice splashscreens, custom kside menu bar, silver firefox theme
plus a ton of other cool stuff.



Folding@home: whether running live from CD or installed to HDD you've got folding covered!

1) It folds with wine by default. But it can fold with the linux client if you want it to. It will run one or two folding clients depending on how man y cpu's you've got. All you have to do is boot the CD, edit the client.cfg's and restart the folding service (all easily accomplished by clicking on files in the default user's /home directory.

2) It comes with an alternate linux-client folding service which will run up to 8 clients based on # of CPU's. Easy to manage via simple command like foldon, foldoff, view fold.

3) The default wine folding service is ready to be used for LTSP netbooted diskless clients. Just install the OS, edit client.cfg, launch the terminal server, and boot your clients through the network.

4) Preconfigured samba share for montioring via EM3 from a windows box.

I just started getting this to try it out.

Anyone out there want to seed it so I can get more speed?
 
I'll be seeding in 40 minutes when it finishes. Getting 680 KB/s down :D

Edit: Done with download, I'll be seeding for at least the next few days.

 
Thanks to who ever put the speed to it.

I will keep it seeded for a while.
 
I'm going to give this distro a try. Thanks for all of you guys seeding, I never get 270Kb/s down. I will seed for a while as well.

 
You're welcome ! I downloaded last night & have been seeding since. I won't get a chance to try the OS until later this weekend. I haven't used bittorrent much, but I'm getting the feel of it now.... I just followed U_M's lead...

 
Bump for anyone who missed it!

I'll be heading home until February tomorrow at noon. Plenty of other mirrors, though, so downloads will still be fast. Get it for doing computer repair type stuff, it's better than Knoppix IMO!

 
This is one I'll be grabbing tomorow morn. I'm signing off for the night.
 
I have used many different distros, live and installed, and Overclockix is one of my favorites. But I have run into and odd problem. Running from the CD my mouse works fine, but after a harddrive install of 3.79 my mouse no longer works. :confused: Microsoft Wireless Explorer 2.0 USB through KVM to PS2 on secondary system. Booting 2.4, 2.6 dies at boot with kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(3,1) :confused: If anyone can help with one of these problems I will answer what questions I can. I checked the XF86config and XF86config-4 and everything looked ok but I dont know alot about Linux yet.
